  • Header for module of hollow fiber membranes and method of potting hollow fibers
    Patent number: 10137619
    Abstract: Hollow fiber membranes are potted by injecting a liquid material into a substantially closed cavity (44) containing the fibers. The cavity may be formed in part by the interaction of a mold a permeate pan (52) and a layer of an adhesive pre-applied to a bundle of the membranes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 15, 2014
    Date of Patent: November 27, 2018
    Assignee: ZENON TECHNOLOGY PARTNERSHIP
    Inventors: Robert Szabo, Gabor Bakos, Attila Palinkas, Steven Kristian Pedersen

  • Supported hollow fiber membrane
    Patent number: 8529814
    Abstract: A hollow fiber membrane is made by covering a tubular supporting structure with a membrane dope and converting the membrane dope into a solid porous membrane wall. Optionally, a textile reinforcing structure in the form of a circular knit may be added around the supporting structure before it is covered in dope. The reinforcing structure thereby becomes embedded in the membrane wall. The supporting structure may be soluble in a non-solvent of the membrane wall, for example water, and may be removed from the membrane. Alternatively, the supporting structure may be porous. A porous supporting structure may be made by a non-woven textile process, a sintering process within an extrusion machine, or by extruding a polymer mixed with a second component. The second component may be a soluble solid or liquid, a super-critical gas, or a second polymer that does not react with the first polymer.
